REPLACE BATTERY
On Line (green) - is lit whenever AC power is powering the Battery Backup outlets.
On Battery (yellow) - is lit whenever
the battery of the Back-UPS is powering equipment connected to the Battery Backup Outlets.
Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - this alarm is sounded whenever the Back-UPS 
is running On Battery. Consider saving
work in progress.
Continuous Beeping - this alarm is sounded whenever a low battery condition 
is reached. Battery run-time is very low. Promptly save any work in progress and exit all open applications. Shutdown the operating system, computer and the Back-
UPS.
Overload (red) - is lit whenever power demand has exceeded the capacity of the Back-UPS.
Continuous Tone - this alarm is sounded whenever the Battery Backup outlets are overloaded.
Circuit Breaker - the circuit breaker button located on the rear panel of the Back-UPS will stick out if an overload condition forces the Back-UPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the button sticks out, disconnect nonessential equipment. Reset the circuit breaker by pushing the button inward.
Replace Battery (red) - is lit whenever the battery is near the end of its useful life, or if the battery is not connected (see above). A battery that is near the end of its useful life has insufficient runtime and should be replaced.
